Hi, my name is Owen. I am going to create a machine called the Recreate Inator. First, I am going to build a machine that can bring things that are dead to life. What I would use my invention for is for good. One of the things I would bring back to life is my grandfather. I would also bring back a Wooly Mammoth and my dog, Neelly. I like my invention because I can see those I miss. I like creating inventions for good because you feel good inside!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

Catapult were a very important weapons of war before guns and cannons were invented. How does a catapult gets its energy? The catapult gets its energy from a rope that is held back then cut it. What types of materials do you think I will be using for the different parts of my catapult? First things I would need are cardboard, tape, and marshmallow.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?
PRESENTATION:
How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
